Windows Server 2012R2 on Fit-PC4
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2015 7:15 am
We have been running Windows Server 2008R2 on Fit-PC3 now for a few years with no problem. For that we used the Fit-PC3 Windows7 drivers and they successfully installed on the Fit-PC3 under Windows Server 2008R2, giving us network.
Now we purchased some Fit-PC4, thinking that the same sort of thing would work. We tried installing Windows Server 2008R2 and using then using the Windows7 drivers for Fit-PC4 with no joy.
We saw that Intel does not even support the I211 network card on Windows Server 2008R2, so guessed the hardware is too new for 2008R2 - no problem.
Then we installed Windows Server 2012R2. The I211 network card is on the support list for 2012R2. A default 2012R2 install does not find the network card.
We ran the Fit-PC4 Windows8 network driver installer - it told us no network card found.
We downloaded the official Intel driver installer for 2012R2 and ran that. Actually it looked just like the one from the Fit-PC4 download page. No joy with that either - no network card found.
The 2 network devices do show up in device manager - just don't have drivers found.
Has anyone got a Fit-PC4 to run any version of Windows Server and use the network card?
